Time – Funding applications can be complex and time consuming; finding time when running a busy organisation to set aside to write them is difficult at the best of times (and that is when you have found the most appropriate funder to begin with). Time slips by very quickly and applications suddenly need urgent attention; normally when you can least afford it. Outsourcing the work take this pressure of and allows you to run the organisation while I seal with the funding for you.

Confidence – We have worked within the charity / voluntary sector since 1998 having run and been a trustee of organisations so know at first hand the importance of secure funding. We work with all clients to ensure we understand there organisations and service users needs to identify the most appropriate funding sources. Jon is a member of the Institute of Fundraising, have an NVQ level 3 in Funding Advice and have worked as a Funding Advisor for the Powys County Voluntary Council since the mid 1990’s.

Track record - Jon have a successful track record in fundraising from Charitable Trust, Lottery, National government, European and Foundations and know which funders are most likely to support different types of activities and use this knowledge to help match your project to the funders to improve the chance of success.

Added value – In addition to the funding bids written we will continue to look for other opportunities for your organisation and even after we finish working for you let you know when opportunities arise that are relevant to your work. We can help develop your Internet presence using social media, initially as a tool to interact with more people and then as a funding tool.

Other benefits – All funding needs to be monitored and evaluated which is a service that we provide, helping you manage the funds and to demonstrate the difference the money has made to the funder and to show that you are an effective organisation.
